Common questions in Sowton
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Are there extra charges for Sowton?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How long does resealing take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Bath resealing at your home in Sowton

How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Air the room after use
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What we’re called out for in Sowton

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sowton
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Hidden water damage
- Movement in the bath or tray
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Sowton
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
The process
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear the area around the damage
